Hello everyone!

There has been a new Besta system for some time now. Are the new and old parts compatible with each other?
For example, my flaps and drawers in my old BESTA cabinets do not have dampers. Can I retrofit this now? Thanks!

Best regards, Andre

The new drawers are not compatible with the old fronts. The old Inreda full-extension slides are of better quality. Maybe some can still be found on eBay or similar platforms.
